자연환경 너무 좋아요
처음에 별 기대없이 갔는데 자연환경이 너무 좋아요 특히 노천온천에서 넓은 아소 구중산을 보며 목욕하는 것은 환상적이었습니다 교통이 불편하긴 해도 차가 있다면 나름대로 좋은 경험될 거예요

최고!
최고의 숙소.특히 야외 온천, 뷰가 최고였음.오히려 쿠로가와온천마을보다 온천이 더 마음에 들었다.조식도 매우 훌륭합니다.아쉬운것은 호텔내에서 먹을수 있는 음식이 마땅치 않았습니다.주변에 편의점이 없어서 미리 먹을 양식을 사가시는것을 추천합니다.다시 묵고싶은 숙소!❤.

此酒店之飲食完全不好, 沒有考慮遊客在不知情下是沒有晚餐的, 而酒店附近是沒有任何餐廳, 所以我覺得配套十分不完善。

산 속 리조트 느낌
다시 가고 싶을 정도로 좋았습니다. 로망이었던 눈과 함께하는 노천탕을 즐길 수 있었습니다. 다만, 노천탕의 조명이 강하지 않아서 밤에는 좀 무섭긴 했습니다. 노천탕 외에도 좋았던 점은 저녁 도시락입니다. 제가 갔던 날은 눈이 많이 내려서 저녁먹으러 어떻게 나갈지 눈 앞이 깜깜했는데 도시락이 운영되어 다행이었습니다. 청결 부분은 딱히 신경 쓰이는 부분은 없었습니다. 좋은 시간 보냈습니다. 감사합니다.

A serene, full-service onsen resort on the gorgeous Mt Aso highlands. Room was spacious, clean, modern. Room service delicious. They had communal bath and also private baths you could reserve for 30 minutes. All in all a great experience. Stayed one night only, next time 2-3 nights for sure! Can recommend!

露天風呂から望む星空は一見の価値ありです。湯船に寝っ転がることができるので心ゆくまで満喫できます。 また朝食のバイキングも種類が豊富で美味しかったです。

露天風呂は眺めは最高だが、本館から離れていて雨だと行くのが億劫になるかも。高原なので結構寒かった。 料理は美味しかったが、隣の会場での団体客の宴会と重なって落ち着けなかった。 値段はリーズナブルだと思う。

居心地の良いホテルでした。 従業員の方々の対応もしっかりしていますし 連絡、周知事項等の連携が出来ていて気持ちの良い時間を過ごせました。 お食事も美味しく、量も多いぐらいで十分に満足できました。 お酒も地酒が楽しめます。 大浴場は脱衣所のスペースを鑑みると、お風呂場が少々狭く感じました。 露天風呂は洗い場の数が少なめかと、ですが寝湯もありますし、周りに眺望を邪魔されるものがないので、晴れた日の夜は非常に綺麗な星空が容易に想像できます。 私が訪れた時は残念ながら曇っていたのですが、館内でプロジェクターを用いた星空の説明をして頂きました。晴れていた場合は外に出て星空を見ながらの説明となるようです。 次回は晴れを願ってまた訪れたいと思います。

部屋や露天風呂から素晴らしい景色
近く建て替えるとのことで建物は古いが、総じて清潔に保たれていて快適。推しどころは何と言っても、部屋や露天風呂からの阿蘇の眺望。夕食はしっかりと量がある内容だったが、個人的には価格からして質にもこだわって欲しいところ。
